Sumario:This paper aims to discuss evil representation in John Milton’s Paradise Lost.The paper begins for Paul Ricoeur’s speech that concerns the nature of evil; the text was a speechoriginally and has been transformed in a book. Pointing the similitude between theocraticthought, as showed by Ricoeur, and the fist satanic soliloquy the paper exposes the proximitybetween both. In the philosophical, text evil is defined as a confrontation between personal wishand obligation to others. The same can be perceived in Milton’s epic, therefore the paperconcludes the evil nature of the satanic character can be characterized by the non-agreementbetween personal wish and moral obligation.
